The Currently Unnamed Note-Passing Scheme

Chapter 1: The Dream

The greatest troublemakers of Hogwarts were noisily eating breakfast in the Great Hall when Snape walked in. Lily smiled. They had turned Snape's hair purple and had performed a charm not to make him notice. But it was about to wear off. Remus was choking on his bacon, and James and Sirius were rolling on the floor, laughing themselves hoarse when Snape shouted, so the whole castle could hear, "POTTER! BLACK!"

Lily's eyes opened drowsily. She looked around slowly, taking in what she saw. Around seventy chairs, with people sleeping on them, and a silvery, transparent-like teacher was lecturing about Goblin Rebellions, completely oblivious to the fact that his class of Gryffindors and Ravenclaws were almost all asleep. The classroom was very dusty, and someone snored as the teacher, Professor Binns passed through his desk. Lily muttered, "History of Magic". She tried to lie back down and sleep, but suddenly, she felt wide-awake. She searched around in her mind for something to do. It fell on two names that she heard in her dream. "Sirius and James!" She picked up a piece of parchment and began to write:

James,

I've been thinking...do you think Snape will look good with blue hair?

Lily

That would be okay. Considering the fact that the ringleaders of the Potter gang always shared any information they had with each other. She passed it on, staring at James' eyes open slowly, read the letter, and then shake Sirius awake. She got a quick reply.

Lily,

What about pink? Personally, we think that would suit him better! Anyways, Lily, I never thought you had it in you! We decided that you must be made an official member of the Hogwarts' Association of Pranksters! But anyway, about Snape's hair... why don't we meet later, in front of the kitchens and discuss it there?

The smartest kids in school,

James and Sirius

Lily smiled.

Jamsie dear,

Pink? I don't know...why don't we just mix it? And while we're at it, why don't we color his robes too? You pick the color; I'm running out of ideas. Oh, and Sirius? Start helping.

The talented,

Lily

P.S. Why don't we meet INSIDE the kitchens instead?

Lily giggled; Sirius and James were squabbling over the parchment, trying to write on it first.

Lilac,

Quit calling me Jamsie! I think that's a great name! Stop it Sirius! Prongs, you know I won't! Lily, you are getting to be more and more like Sirius everyday! Pranks and food! I'll take that as a compliment.

Padfoot and Prongs

PS If you don't stop calling me that, I'll call you Petunia.

Sirius and JAMES,

Thanks James! (happy?) That's so very nice of you to actually say that! Hey Siri! Hear that? I'm now your little sister! I'm so happy! Thank You! Thank You! I feel so honored!

The greatest,

Lily

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of that period. Lily quickly wrote a postscript.

PS meet you there at 8:00

And she placed it in James' hand as she left for Divination.

When he got the note, James smiled. He showed it to Sirius, saying, "Told you! She is now the one who plans the pranks, not us! She is getting to be more like you everyday!"

Sirius grinned. "So? I'm glad to have found an successor!" He then rushed off to Muggle Studies, leaving James to run after his retreating back.
